You have serious reading comprenhension problemsSo secession was about free trade and not the right to own human beings.
Slavery was an important issue but more important to Texas as the declaration you posted says is who has the right to abolish slavery?So you're arguing the South seceded for lower interest rates?
Thats an innovative argument. Can you cite the articles of secession that state that? I can definitely show where they unceasingly talk about slavery.

Tearing down the existing statue is not the answer.Yes. However, we don't have to honor the traitors who seceded with statues.
Nothing good about those citizens...history cannot be destroyed or forgotten so its just a cheap woke way to act.Evidently the good citizens disagreed with you.
This just in: Still nothing happening in Wales.

Exactly how did erecting statues of traitors to the United States of America make America better?exactly how did removal of statues make america better?
CALL: the civil war was not about slavery, it was about economics and greed.
RESPONSE: Yes, the owners of slaves were all about the economics and greed
Secession was all about slavery. Was it a valid reason for secession?
Now I'm kind of an aging tractor-pilot sitting in his Carharts, but.......but I'd like to see the poster Redfish prove that "no one was.....offended".no one was harmed or offended for over 100 years
Robert E lee was an honorable and important figure in US history
Lost cause, white supremacist, war of northern aggression nonsense./—-/ Except, I was educated in the segregated south and was taught the war between the states began over tariffs and states rights. But, as it dragged on and northerners grew weary of the death tolls, and sentiment grew to just let the south break away, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to give the north a just cause to continue fighting to preserve the Union. And it worked, thank God. BTW, Lincoln was assassinated by a democRAT loyalist and southern sympathizer.
Uh yeah…the civil war was not about slavery, it was about economics and greed.
Not even in Llanfair Caereinion? Its like JRR Tolkein names places for the Lord of the Rings, but some drunk dude said "here, hold my beer."This just in: Still nothing happening in Wales.
Ohhh crazy black democrat. That explains it.Why do you whine about local democracy in action ? The Mayor is very supportive and he should have his finger on the pulse.

I would posit a lot of folks were offended. More were offended than those who favored the statue.
Why do I say that?
'Cause the friggin' statue is now gone.
Duh!

Important?
Oh hell yeah. You bet he was. A fine soldier with all the soldierly virtues our culture ---and other cultures --- admire, but..........but he chose to fight for one of the worst causes. And THAT leaves a stain on his honor that nearly 160 years hasn't erased.
That's not just my position, it is the stated position of the fine soldier who beat him and accepted his surrender at Appomattox , Sam Grant.
To wit: "I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse.”
Then after all these years, we finally know that the Confederates were right all along.Exactly how did erecting statues of traitors to the United States of America make America better?

according to the constitution and our body of law. equal opportunity is guaranteed, not equal results. your results are up to you, not the government.

See, you are making my point./—-/ Except, I was educated in the segregated south and was taught the war between the states began over tariffs and states rights. But, as it dragged on and northerners grew weary of the death tolls, and sentiment grew to just let the south break away, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to give the north a just cause to continue fighting to preserve the Union.

The war was about states rights
An issue that lingered since the signing of the Constitution
The North wanted tariffs to protect Northern manufacturing
The South wanted free trade with England and France
The North wanted a tight money supply and higher interest rates while the South wanted cheap money
And Southerners were always more divided over independence and loyality to the King than the North
Slavery was a big issue but not the only one as school children are being brainwashed to believe today
we finally know that the Confederates were right all along.
You are the revisionistHere's another moron who believes Lost Cause revisionism.
Nope, it was about slavery.
It was about the fear that black people, once freed, would avenge themselves on white people.
When that didn't happen, then all the Confederate Veteran's groups all decided that they needed to rationalize what they did.
